microsoft office 2010 64 bit key sale, one was scheduled for May in New Orleans,
microsoft office pro 2010 32bit key, but it has disappeared.) Even Microsoft isn’t immune from slashing travel/conference budgets…. - 1/11 (Consumer Electronics Show) 2009 - Las Vegas (Ballmer keynote is 1/7 at 6:30 p.m. PT) - 1/29 SOA & Business Process Conference 2009 - Redmond (Expect more Oslo info to be on the agenda) - 2/7 TED - Palm Springs (Don’t be surprised to see a glimpse of some Live Labs or Microsoft Research project)
